Noticeboard

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME! We are registering new patients. If you live out of our catchment area you may still be able to register as an Out of Area Patient if you do not expect to need home visits. Out of Area patients need to call 111 to arrange visits as they are not provided by the practice.

MAGAZINES - Thank you to everyone who brought some in for us! Please feel free to drop off any in the future that are suitable for our waiting room.

OUT OF HOURS - CALL 111 if you need medical advice or assistance anytime the practice is closed. All calls are free to this number. CALL 999 immediately if the problem may be life threatening at anytime.

PRIVATE WORK - Please note that anything that is not NHS contracted work can take up to six weeks to complete as the doctors must give priority to all NHS work. This includes some forms that are required for the Council. Fees are charged where appropriate for private work. If you do need something done please contact the Patient Services team to find about about the charges. A GP appointment is NOT needed if you need to have forms or reports done. Charges can be paid by card over the phone and must be paid before the work is undertaken.

SEND Resources - Local Offer

CALDERDALE LOCAL OFFER

The Local Offer is essentially a directory of services for children and young people with SEND. In Calderdale, this is delivered primarily through the newly created Local Offer website - click link below:

There is also a Calderdale Local Offer Facebook page click link below:

The website and the Facebook page are updated on an ongoing basis, with details of upcoming events and additional resources/information being added all the time. It really is a very useful database for any parent with a child with SEN, about services and provision which may be available for their child.Most information about Health services in Calderdale is found in the ‘Health and Social Care’ section of the Local Offer website.

Many parents of children with SEND and young people with SEND tell us that they have never heard of the Local Offer. We are working hard to increase awareness of this valuable resource, but we need help from Health colleagues to achieve this.
